Moroccan Rug, Morocco, Mid 20th Century – Created in Morocco, this quintessential vintage rug features a flashy elongated field decorated with a bold variety of polychromatic squares and a chic periwinkle-blue end piece decorated with an ornamental niche and secondary motifs. The boldly decorated field features precise checkerboard cells rendered in a traditional combination of kohl black and ivory that transitions into a number of polychromatic variations, including a vibrant assortment of azure, Prussian blue and vermillion. The bold monochromatic squares are juxtaposed against subdued neutral-colored segments featuring chic ivory squares paired with intensely variegated blocks incorporating contrasting shades of burgundy and cherry blossom pink. This exquisite vintage Moroccan rug showcases the unbounded colors and rich textures that make abstract rugs from the region so dynamic and appealing in modern design situations.
